Develop a scene using the information below.
Be sure to include the camera shots, a proper entrance and exit, a proper voice
over, camera cuts, and camera transitions.
Camera Shots to include:
__________ Extreme Wide Shot (XWS) - establishing shot. In the extreme wide shot, the view is so far from
the subject that she/he isn't even visible. The point of this shot is to show the subject's surroundings.
__________ Wide Shot (WS) - In the wide shot, the subject takes up the full frame. The feet are at the
bottom of frame and the head is almost at the top.
__________ Long Shot (LS) - can be interchanged with a wide shot. The subject is shown from the knees up
to the head.
__________ Medium Shot (MS) - The medium shot shows some part of the subject in more detail, while still
showing enough for the audience to feel as if they were looking at the whole subject. Used to show a conversation
or to display an action.
__________ Medium Close Up (MCU) - The medium close up is half way between a medium shot and a
close up. This shot shows the face more clearly, without getting uncomfortably close.
__________ Close Up (CU) - In the close up shot, a certain feature or part of the subject takes up most of the
frame. Close-ups are useful for showing detail and can also be used as a cut in.
__________ Extreme Close Up (ECU) - The ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail.
__________ Point of View (POV) - This shot shows a view from the subject's perspective. Use a wide shot to
establish the scene, shot a POV from the subject’s eyes, continuing action, and then shot a medium shot
continuing the action. This shot involves 3 separate shots.
